Re: DVDTalk's First Annual Challenge - 2014
I shall come and go as I can...
The last few challenge has been a bust for me so we'll see how long I can keep up.

Me: I have to get up and go watch something Peanuts-related. Her: What? Why? Me: Charles Schultz died on this day 14 years ago and it's almost midnight. Her: Huh? I just couldn't do it. Then I took the next day off as well. |

What is the ruling on watching something a day late? I watched Nightmare On Elm Street 3 on Feb 28, when the Feb 27 was the 27th Anniversary of it's theatrical release.
Is there a couple day's leeway or do we forfeit that entry if we can't get to it on the exact day? |

I totally hear ya on this one. And that's one of the reasons I decided to let go of the challenges for the most part. I was beating myself up sometimes when I couldn't keep up, even in the slightest bit.

Ah yes, the Ides of March. So watch Julius Caesar. |
Re: DVDTalk's First Annual Challenge - 2014
I've never seen The Quiet Man.
|
Re: DVDTalk's First Annual Challenge - 2014
since this month is also the History Challenge viewings - a little of both will be entered into both lists.

Re: DVDTalk's First Annual Challenge - 2014
I watched Saving Private Ryan on 6/6.

Re: DVDTalk's First Annual Challenge - 2014
I'm still OCDing something everyday; usually a birthday sitcom or shortish show, but occasionally something like a D-day film or comic films on Free Comic Book Day.
A couple times I've almost forgotten and watched something at ~1130 PM. At this point I'll be pissed at myself if I miss a day, but if I do at least I'll be able to quit this nonsense. |
Re: DVDTalk's First Annual Challenge - 2014
Watching The Magnificent Seven today.
|
Re: DVDTalk's First Annual Challenge - 2014
Watched ID4 on July 3, as some of it takes place on that day.
|
Re: DVDTalk's First Annual Challenge - 2014
July 20th- In Too Deep (Omar Epps born today in 1973)
|
Re: DVDTalk's First Annual Challenge - 2014
So deciding on doing this Challenge was my worst idea ever. I did it, 365 for 365; but the slight satisfaction in the 'accomplishment' does not compensate for crazy daily OCD chore it became. Never again.

Re: DVDTalk's First Annual Challenge - 2014
congrats :banana:

Re: DVDTalk's First Annual Challenge - 2014
Congrats Trevor! I thought you were crazy to do this and it's now confirmed! :lol:
Did you at least watch your wedding video on 11/11? It just occurred to me that I totally forgot to throw out *congrats* that day! |
Re: DVDTalk's First Annual Challenge - 2014
Congrats, Trevor! I think. ;)

Re: DVDTalk's First Annual Challenge - 2014
Thanks everyone, but I would have preferred you forcibly stopped me last January.
And I tried to Bob, and thanks, but I didn't find the DVD until later in the month. But hopefully it's still within sight for the next time Jen wants to watch it. |
Re: DVDTalk's First Annual Challenge - 2014
:clap:
I think I got in like three or four daily-themed viewings over the whole year. |
Re: DVDTalk's First Annual Challenge - 2014
I'm pondering a challenge of my own, but can't narrow down what I want to do, or get the motivation to actually start it.

Re: DVDTalk's First Annual Challenge - 2014
I think the bigger question is, how easy of a habit was it to quit? Are you pretty much over and done w/ it, or do you still get that nagging feeling there is something you're supposed to do today?
